Divorce Order
To obtain a Divorce Order in Ontario, you typically need to file several specific forms during the divorce process, culminating in the application for the divorce certificate. Here are the essential forms you’ll need:
- Form 36: Affidavit for Divorce: This form is an affidavit where one or both spouses confirm the facts of the divorce application, including the grounds for divorce and the particulars of the marriage and separation. It needs to be sworn or affirmed in front of a commissioner for taking oaths.
- Copy of Marriage Certificate
- Form 25A: Divorce Order: This form is what the judge signs to grant the divorce. It outlines the court’s decision regarding the divorce and confirms that the requirements for divorce (such as the one-year separation, unless adultery or cruelty were the grounds) have been met.
